Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the financial information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations for the reported periods, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Corporation” or “Codorus Valley”) is a one-bank holding company headquartered in York, Pennsylvania that provides a full range of banking services through its subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank” or “Bank”). As of March 31, 2022, PeoplesBank operates one wholly-owned subsidiary, Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, Inc. d/b/a PeoplesWealth Advisors, which sells nondeposit investment products. In addition, PeoplesBank may periodically create nonbank subsidiaries for the purpose of temporarily holding foreclosed properties pending the liquidation of these properties. PeoplesBank operates under a state charter and is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, and a wholly-owned nonbank subsidiary, SYC Realty Company, Inc. SYC Realty was inactive during the period ended March 31, 2022. The accounts of CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 and No. 2 are not included in the consolidated financial statements as discussed in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Codorus Valley and subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been followed on a consistent basis.

These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, the Corporation evaluated the events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2022 and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, for items of potential recognition or disclosure.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to trouble debt restructurings (TDR) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) was signed into law on December 27, 2020, extending the provisions in Section 4013 of the CARES Act to January 1, 2022.

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP”) was signed into law. Chief among the $1.9 trillion stimulus act is additional support for individuals, including $1,400 checks to many Americans, extended unemployment benefits, and expanded tax credits. In addition, ARP provides funding for state and local governments and support for businesses continuing to struggle as a result of the pandemic, including a modest increase to PPP, expanded eligibility to more non-profits, a grant program for restaurants that have suffered pandemic-related losses, and extended payroll support for the airline industry.

While the Corporation continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic, these events may have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s results of future operations, financial position, capital, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022. Further, a decrease in results of future operations may place a strain on the Corporation’s capital reserve ratios.

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances less amounts charged off, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Generally, loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) over the contractual life of the loan. The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans consist of the following industry classes: builder & developer, commercial real estate investor, residential real estate investor, hotel/motel, wholesale & retail, agriculture, manufacturing, service and all other. Consumer loans consist of the following classes: residential mortgage, home equity and all other.

- 8 -


Generally, for all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan may be currently performing. A past due loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed in the current year. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to the Corporation’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, nonaccrual loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents the Corporation’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. While the Corporation attributes a portion of the allowance to individual loans and groups of loans that it evaluates and determines to be impaired, the allowance is available to cover all charge-offs that arise from the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable incurred losses. The Corporation performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, generally nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class, including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential real estate, home equity and other consumer loans. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these classes of loans, adjusted for qualitative (environmental) risk factors. Historical loss rates are based on a two year rolling average of net charge-offs. Qualitative risk factors that supplement historical losses in the evaluation of loan pools are shown below. Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on the Corporation’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation.

Changes in international, US and local economies and business conditions

Changes in the value of collateral for collateral dependent loans

Changes in the level of concentrations of credit

Changes in the volume and severity of classified and past due loans

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio

Changes in collection, charge-off, and recovery procedures

Changes in underwriting standards and loan terms

Changes in the quality of the loan review system

Changes in the experience/ability of lending management and key lending staff

Regulatory and legal regulations that could affect the level of credit losses

Other pertinent environmental factors

As disclosed in Note 4—Loans, the Corporation engages in commercial and consumer lending. Loans are made within the Corporation’s primary market area and surrounding areas, and include the purchase of whole loan or participation interests in loans from other financial institutions. Commercial loans, which pose the greatest risk of loss to the Corporation, whether originated or purchased, are generally secured by real estate. Within the broad commercial loan segment, the builder & developer and commercial real estate investor loan classes generally present a higher level of risk than other commercial loan classifications. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income producing properties, unstable real estate prices and the dependency upon successful construction and sale or operation of the real estate project. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the commercial loan segments of hotel/motel and the restaurant and recreation segments included under other commercial loans currently present a higher level of risk than other

commercial loan classifications. Within the consumer loan segment, junior (i.e., second) liens present a higher risk to the Corporation because economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the underlying value of the collateral, which could render the Corporation under-secured or unsecured. In addition, economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the ability of some borrowers to service their debt.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. The Corporation determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans that are deemed impaired are evaluated for impairment loss based on the net realizable value of the collateral, as applicable. Loans that are not collateral dependent will rely on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate to determine impairment loss. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and other consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, unless they are classified as impaired.

An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired commercial loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the most recent appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraisals are generally discounted to provide for selling costs and other factors to determine an estimate of the net realizable value of the property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Generally in instances when specific consumer related loans become impaired, they may be partially or fully charged off, which eliminates the need for a specific allowance.

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring may involve an interest rate that is below the market rate given the associated credit risk of the loan or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a reasonable period of time, generally six consecutive months after modification and future payments are reasonably assured.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time banking regulators, the SEC and FASB have all issued additional guidance and clarification on various sections of the CARES Act. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides the option to not apply ASC 310-40 (TDRs) to a loan modification, related specifically to COVID-19 hardships, when the loan was not past due greater than 30 days as of December 31, 2019. Regulators have encouraged financial institutions to work constructively with borrowers in communities and industries affected by COVID-19 using prudent and proactive actions which are in the best interests of the financial institution, the borrower and the economy. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a number of options for loan modifications, including interest deferral, full payment deferral, additional extensions of credit, and SBA loan programs (i.e., Economic Injury Disaster Loans, Paycheck Protection Program).

Loan-Level Interest Rate Swaps

During the second quarter of 2021, PeoplesBank entered into loan-level interest rate swaps (“swaps”) to facilitate certain client transactions and to meet their financing needs.  These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments.   A loan-level interest rate swap is a contract in which the series of interest rate flows (fixed and variable) are exchanged over the term of a loan with certain qualifying commercial loan clients, and PeoplesBank simultaneously enters into an interest rate swap with a dealer counterparty with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these swaps is that the client pays a fixed interest rate and PeoplesBank receives a floating interest rate.  The swap positions with clients are equally offset with the dealer counterparties to minimize the potential impact on PeoplesBank’s financial statements.

Pursuant to agreements with the dealer counterparties, PeoplesBank may receive collateral or may be required to post collateral based upon mark-to-market positions. Beyond unsecured threshold levels, collateral in the form of cash or securities may be made available to counterparties of interest rate swap transactions. Based upon the current positions and related future collateral requirements relating to them, PeoplesBank believes any effect on its cash flow or liquidity position to be immaterial.

- 10 -


Derivatives contain an element of credit risk, including the possibility that PeoplesBank will incur a loss because a party to the agreements, which may be a dealer counterparty or a client, fails to meet its contractual obligations. Derivative contracts may only be executed with dealer counterparties as approved by the Board of Directors.  Similarly, derivatives with clients may only be executed with clients within credit exposure limits as approved by the Board of Directors. Loan-level interest rate swaps are considered derivatives but are not accounted for using hedge accounting.

Interest rate swaps, recorded at fair value, are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional information is provided in Note 15 – Interest Rate Swaps.

Bank Premises and Equipment Held for Sale

Bank premises and equipment designated as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, and, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of one retail banking property scheduled to be closed the second quarter of 2022, totaling $567,000 and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate, included in other assets, is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or property that is acquired through in-substance foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Any difference between the carrying value and the new cost basis is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Appraisals, obtained from an independent third party, are generally used to determine fair value. After foreclosure, management reviews valuations at least quarterly and adjusts the asset to the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell through a valuation allowance or a write-down. Costs related to the improvement of foreclosed real estate are generally capitalized until the real estate reaches a saleable condition subject to fair value limitations. Revenue and expense from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in noninterest expense. When a foreclosed real estate asset is ultimately sold, any gain or loss on the sale is included in the income statement as a component of noninterest expense. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there was no foreclosed real estate. As of March 31, 2022, there were no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, compared to $102,000 as of December 31, 2021.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) associated with the sold loans are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the contractual rights to service the mortgage loans. The MSR asset is amortized as a reduction to servicing income. The MSR asset is evaluated periodically for impairment and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A third party calculates fair value by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income using a rate consistent with the risk associated with these assets and an estimate of future net servicing income of the underlying loans. In the event that the amortized cost of the MSR asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, a valuation allowance would be established through a charge against servicing income. Subsequent fair value evaluations may determine that impairment has been reduced or eliminated, in which case the valuation allowance would be reduced through a credit to earnings. At March 31, 2022, the balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $62,207,000 compared to $66,885,000 at December 31, 2021.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible Assets

Goodwill arising from acquisitions is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. This test consists of a qualitative analysis. If the Corporation determines events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a quantitative analysis must be completed. Analyses may also be performed between annual tests. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions, and selecting an appropriate control premium. The Corporation completes its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1st of each year. Based upon a qualitative analysis of goodwill, the Corporation concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired as of October 1, 2021.

- 11 -


Core deposit intangibles represent the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. The core deposit intangible value represents the future economic benefit of potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost of alternative funding sources and the alternative cost to grow a similar core deposit base. The core deposit intangible asset resulting from the merger with Madison Bancorp, Inc. was determined to have a definite life and is being amortized using the sum of the years’ digits method over ten years. All intangible assets must be evaluated for impairment if certain events or changes in circumstances occur. Any impairment write-downs would be recognized as expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers that are required to be recognized under FASB ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Corporation recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

The majority of the Corporation’s revenue-generating transactions are not within the scope of ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, derivatives and investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage servicing activities, as these activities are subject to other U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income are as follows:

Trust and investment service fees – The Corporation provides trust, investment management custody and irrevocable life insurance trust services to clients. Such services are rendered in accordance with the underlying contracts for which fees are earned. The Corporation’s performance obligations are generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for services rendered is primarily received in the following month.

Income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales – The Corporation sells mutual funds, annuity and insurance products to its clients. The Corporation’s performance obligation is met upon the signing of the product agreement and, in certain cases, a time component may exist when the client has the right to rescind the agreement with or without penalty. The Corporation recognizes revenues upon delivery of the product or service unless there is a time component in which case revenues are recognized utilizing the expected value method. Payment for services rendered is primarily received in the following month.

Service charges on deposits accounts – These represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks and other services. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to the clients’ accounts.

Other noninterest income – The Corporation evaluated individual components of other noninterest income, such as credit card merchant fees, credit and gift card fees and ATM fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Corporation’s debit cards are processed through payment networks, such as Visa. Credit and gift card income is realized through a third party provider who issues cards as private label in the Corporation’s name. ATM fees are primarily generated when a non-Corporation cardholder uses a Corporation ATM. The income is primarily comprised as a percentage of interchange fees earned whenever the issuer’s card is processed through card payment networks, such as Visa or Pulse. Merchant services income is realized through a third party service provider who is contracted by the Corporation under a referral arrangement. Such fees represent fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Corporation’s performance obligation for these fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received within a one to three day lag or in the following month.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard adds a new Topic 326 which requires companies to measure and record impairment on financial instruments at the time of origination using the expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model calculates impairment based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, and reflects the organization’s current estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of its financial assets. The new standard was delayed and is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation is working with a selected third-party vendor solution to assist with the application of ASU 2016-013 and finalizing the loss estimation models to be used. As the loss estimation models and data goverance documentation is finalized, a third party will be contracted to perform a model validation prior to adoption. While the Corporation anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase under its current assumptions, it expects the impact of adopting ASU 2016-013 will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of its loan and investment securities portfolios, as well as general economic conditions and forecasts at the adoption date.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Securities

A summary of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is provided below. The securities available-for-sale portfolio is generally comprised of high quality debt instruments, principally obligations of the United States government or agencies thereof and investments in the obligations of states and municipalities. Corporates include subordinated debt issued by domestic community banks. The majority of municipal bonds in the portfolio are general obligation bonds, which can draw upon multiple sources of revenue, including taxes, for payment. Only a few bonds are revenue bonds, which are dependent upon a single revenue stream for payment, but they are for critical services such as water and sewer. In many cases, municipal debt issues are insured or, in the case of school districts of selected states, backed by specific loss reserves. At March 31, 2022, 80.5 percent of the fair value of the municipal bond portfolio was concentrated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The portfolio was intentionally distributed to limit exposure with the largest issuer at $2.2 million. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the US Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

Securities available-for-sale are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers, among other factors: 1) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 2) whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 3) default rates/history by security type; 4) third-party securities ratings; 5) third-party guarantees; 6) subordination; 7) payment delinquencies; 8) nature of the issuer; and 9) current financial news.

The Corporation believes that unrealized losses at March 31, 2022 were primarily the result of changes in market interest rates and that the Corporation has the ability to hold these investments for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. Through March 31, 2022 the Corporation has collected all interest and principal on its investment securities as scheduled. The Corporation believes that collection of the contractual principal and interest is probable and, therefore, all impairment is considered to be temporary.

 

Note 3—Restricted Investment in Bank Stocks

Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, consisted primarily of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLBP”) and, to a lesser degree, Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. (“ACBI”), the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). Under the FHLBP’s Capital Plan member banks, including PeoplesBank, are required to maintain a minimum stock investment. The FHLBP uses a formula to determine the minimum stock investment, which is based on the volume of loans outstanding, unused borrowing capacity and other factors.

The FHLBP paid dividends during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The FHLBP restricts the repurchase of the excess capital stock of member banks. The amount of excess capital stock that can be repurchased from any member is currently the lesser of five percent of the member’s total capital stock outstanding or its excess capital stock outstanding.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 942. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Using the FHLBP as an example, the determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as: (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBP as compared to

- 15 -


the capital stock amount for the FHLBP and the length of time this situation has persisted; (2) commitments by the FHLBP to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLBP; and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLBP. Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to the restricted stock during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 4—Loans

Loan Portfolio Composition

The table below provides the composition of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The portfolio is comprised of two segments, commercial and consumer loans. The commercial loan segment is disaggregated by industry class which allows the Corporation to monitor risk and performance.

Those industries representing the largest dollar investment and most risk are listed separately. The “Other” commercial loans category is comprised of various industries. The consumer related segment is comprised of residential mortgages, home equity and other consumer loans. The Corporation has not engaged in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.

Loan Risk Ratings

The Corporation’s internal risk rating system follows regulatory guidance as to risk classifications and definitions. Every approved loan is assigned a risk rating. Generally, risk ratings for commercial related loans are determined by a formal evaluation of risk factors performed by the Corporation’s underwriting staff. For consumer and residential mortgage loans, the bank follows the Uniform Retail Credit Classification guidance. Commercial loans up to $500,000 may be scored using a third-party credit scoring software model for risk rating purposes. The loan portfolio is monitored on a continuous basis by loan officers, loan review personnel and senior management. Adjustments of loan risk ratings within the Watch, Criticized and Classified categories are generally performed by the Watch and Special Asset Committees, which includes senior management. The Committees, which typically meet at least quarterly, make changes, as appropriate, to these risk ratings. In addition to review by the Committees, existing loans are monitored by the primary loan officer and loan review officer to determine if any changes, upward or downward, in risk ratings are appropriate. Primary loan officers may recommend a change to a risk rating and internal loan review officers may downgrade existing loans, except to non-accrual status. Only the President/CEO or CFO may approve a downgrade of a loan to non-accrual status. The Special Asset Committee or President/CEO may upgrade a loan that is criticized or classified.

The Corporation uses eleven risk ratings to grade commercial loans. The first six ratings are considered “pass” ratings. A pass rating is a satisfactory credit rating, which applies to a loan that is expected to perform in accordance with the loan agreement and has a low probability of loss. A loan rated “special mention” has a potential weakness which may, if not corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Corporation’s position at some future date. A loan rated “substandard” is inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity of the obligor, or of the collateral pledged. A “substandard” loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that could jeopardize liquidation of the loan, which exposes the Corporation to potential loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. When circumstances indicate that collection of the loan is doubtful, the loan is risk-rated “nonaccrual,” the accrual of interest income is discontinued, and any unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. The table below does not include

the regulatory classification of “doubtful,” nor does it include the regulatory classification of “loss”, because the Corporation promptly charges off loan losses.

The table below presents a summary of loan risk ratings by loan class at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Impaired Loans

The table below presents a summary of impaired loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Generally, impaired loans are all loans risk rated nonaccrual or classified troubled debt restructuring. An allowance is established for those individual loans where the Corporation has doubt as to the full recovery of the outstanding principal balance. Typically, impaired consumer related loans are partially or fully charged-off eliminating the need for specific allowance. The recorded investment represents outstanding unpaid principal loan balances adjusted for payments collected on a non-cash basis and charge-offs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are designated impaired and arise when the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted with respect to these loans involve an extension of the maturity date or a below market interest rate relative to new debt with similar credit risk. The principal balance of outstanding TDRs was $15,954,000 at March 31, 2022 and $954,000 at December 31, 2021. There was a $1,901,000 allowance allocated to TDRs at March 31, 2022 and none at December 31, 2021. There are no commitments to lend to existing TDRs. A TDR is considered to be in payment default once it is contractually past due pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Generally, these loans are secured by real estate. If repayment of the loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the loan is evaluated for impairment loss based on the fair value of the collateral. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, is used to determine any impairment loss. A nonaccrual TDR

- 20 -


represents a nonaccrual loan, as previously defined, which includes an economic concession. Nonaccrual TDRs are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive payments after the modification and future principal and interest payments are reasonably assured. In contrast, an accruing TDR represents a loan that, at the time of the modification, has a demonstrated history of payments and with respect to which management believes that future loan payments are reasonably assured under the modified terms.

As of March 31, 2022, there are no modifications for consumer loans, one mortgage loan totaling approximately $641,000 and five commercial loans totaling approximately $33,527,000 under the CARES Act, which are not considered TDRs. As of March 31, 2021, there were no modifications for consumer loans, five mortage loans totaling approximately $2,060,000 and 38 commercial loans totaling approximately $86,091,000 under the CARES Act, which are not considered TDRs.

The below table shows loans whose terms have been modified under TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. TDR concessions include maturity extensions, below market interest rates relative to new debt with similar risk and interest or principal forgiveness. One commercial relationship included principal forgiveness of $1,329,000, which was recognized in the prior period, in accordance with a bankruptcy court order. One of the loans modified in March 2022 is not performing under their modified terms. There were no defaults for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 for TDRs entered into during the previous 12 month period.

Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and other borrowings. At March 31, 2022, the balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $10,778,000 compared to $10,761,000 at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no other short-term borrowings.

The following table presents a summary of long-term debt as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. PeoplesBank’s long-term debt obligations to the FHLBP are fixed rate instruments. Under terms of a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLBP, the obligations are secured by FHLBP stock and PeoplesBank qualifying loan receivables, principally real estate secured loans.

In June 2006, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 2, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary whose sole purpose was to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $7,217,000. In November 2004, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $3,093,000. The Corporation owns all of the common stock of these nonbank subsidiaries, and the debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. The accounts of both Trusts are not consolidated for financial reporting purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 810. For regulatory capital purposes, all of the Corporation’s trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital for all reported periods. Trust preferred securities are subject to capital limitations under the FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines. The Corporation used the net proceeds from these offerings to fund its operations.

In December 2020, Codorus Valley issued subordinated notes in the amount of $31,000,000. The Corporation may redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $10,000, on or after December 9, 2025 and prior to the maturity date at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated notes mature on December 9, 2030. The subordinated notes are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the Note Purchase Agreements. The subordinated notes may be included in Tier 2 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The subordinated notes have a fixed rate of interest equal to 4.50% until December 30, 2025. After that term, the variable rate of interest is equal to the then current 90-Day Average SOFR (Secured Oversight Financing Rate) plus 404 basis points.

 

Note 8—Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Corporation, Topic 842 affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Corporation is the lessee.

Substantially all of the leases in which the Corporation is the lessee are comprised of real estate property, ATM locations, and office space. Substantially all of our leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Corporation’s consolidated statements of condition. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Corporation has one finance lease for one financial center.

- 24 -


Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated statement of condition. All other leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 25 years, some of which include options to extend. Upon opening a new financial center, we typically install brand-specific leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or length of the lease. To the extent that the initial lease term of the related lease is less than the useful life of the leasehold improvements and, taking into consideration the dollar amount of the improvements, we conclude that it is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised, the renewal period is included in the lease term, and the related payments are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Corporation utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on an amortizing and collateralized basis, over a similar term.

All of our leases include fixed rental payments. We commonly enter into leases under which the lease payments increase at pre-determined dates based on the change in the consumer price index. While the majority of our leases are gross leases, we also have a number of leases in which we make separate payments to the lessor based on the lessor’s property and casualty insurance cost and the property taxes assessed on the property, as well as a portion of the common area maintenance associated with the property. We have elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and nonlease components for all of our building leases.

Note 9—Regulatory Matters

The Corporation is subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends to its shareholders pursuant to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“BCL”). The BCL prohibits dividend payments if such payment would render the Corporation insolvent or result in negative net worth. Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by PeoplesBank to the Corporation. The amount of total dividends, which may be paid at any date, is generally limited to the retained earnings of PeoplesBank. Furthermore, dividend payments would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause PeoplesBank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements as discussed below. Loans and advances by PeoplesBank to affiliates, including the Corporation, are limited to 10 percent of PeoplesBank’s capital stock and contributed capital on a secured basis.

- 26 -


Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.  Management believes as of March 31, 2022, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized PeoplesBank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The program was successfully completed in January 2022, after the Corporation purchased 224,821 shares at an average price of $22.24 for a total of $5,000,000.

The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a new Repurchase Program (“Program”) in January 2022. Under the newly approved Program, the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $5 million of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common stock. All shares of the common stock repurchased pursuant to the Program shall be held as treasury shares and be available for use and reissuance for the purpose as and when determined by the Board of Directors including, without limitation to the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and its equity compensation plan. There was no activity under the Program during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

Note 11—Contingent Liabilities

There are no legal proceedings pending against Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries which are expected to have a material impact upon the consolidated financial position and/or operating results of the Corporation, other than routine litigation incidental to the business. Management is not aware of any proceedings known or contemplated by government authorities.

 

Note 12—Guarantees

 

Codorus Valley does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by PeoplesBank to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to clients.  The Corporation generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  The Corporation had $15,531,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding on March 31, 2022, compared to $14,688,000 on December 31, 2021. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding letters of credit. The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued, was not material. Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

 

Note 13—Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Corporation uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

- 28 -


Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

Since management maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value, an asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities available-for-sale

The fair values of investment securities were measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique, used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather, by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Interest rate swap agreements

Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency in markets that are not active. Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the more mature Level 1 markets. These markets do however have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets in order to arrive at a fair market value. These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired loans

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310, in which the Corporation has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These loans are generally included as Level 3 fair values, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  At March 31, 2022, the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or partial charge-off was $5,159,000, net of valuation allowances of $3,161,000 and partial charge-offs of $1,589,000.  At December 31, 2021 the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or charge-off was $3,142,000, net of valuation allowances of $4,058,000 and charge-offs of $957,000

Foreclosed Real Estate

Other real estate property acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value of the property at the transfer date less estimated selling cost. Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value less estimated selling cost.  Fair value is usually determined based on an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally on a recent sales offer. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no foreclosed real estate assets with a valuation allowance or write-down.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. The fair value of servicing rights is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows on pools of mortgages stratified by rate and original time to maturity. Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Significant inputs to the valuation include expected cash flow, expected net servicing income, a cash flow discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans.

Note 14—Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

PeoplesBank enters into agreements with clients in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same securities (“repurchase agreements”). The contractual maturity of the repurchase agreement is overnight and continues until either party terminates the agreement. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as a collateralized financing arrangement (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability (short-term borrowings) in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements of condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements are appropriately segregated for safekeeping purposes and remain in the respective securities asset accounts. Thus, there is no offsetting or netting of the securities with the repurchase agreement liabilities.

Note 15 – Interest Rate Swaps

Loan Level Interest Rate Swaps

PeoplesBank enters into loan-level interest rate swaps with certain qualifying, creditworthy commercial loan clients to provide a loan pricing structure that meets the interest rate risk management needs of both PeoplesBank as well as the client. PeoplesBank simultaneously enters into parallel interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net results of the offsetting client and deal counterparty swap agreements is that the client pays a fixed rate of interest and PeoplesBank receives a floating rate. PeoplesBank’s loan-level interest rate swaps are considered derivatives but are not accounted for using hedge accounting.

The fair value, notational amount, and collateral posted related to loan-level interest rate swaps are presented below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Codorus Valley” or “the Corporation”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank”), are provided below. Codorus Valley’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of PeoplesBank’s financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of, similar performance in the future.

Forward-looking Statements

Management of the Corporation has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements may be subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. When words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” or similar expressions occur in the Form 10-Q, management is making forward-looking statements.

Note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Operating, legal and regulatory risks;

Credit risk, including an increase in nonperforming assets requiring loss provisions and the incurrence of carrying costs related to nonperforming assets;

Interest rate fluctuations which could increase our cost of funds or decrease our yield on earning assets and therefore reduce our net interest income;

Declines in the market value of investment securities considered to be other-than-temporary;

Unavailability of capital when needed, or availability at less than favorable terms;

Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or client information, whether through a breach of our computer systems or otherwise, which may adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, net income or reputation;

Inability to achieve merger-related synergies, and difficulties in integrating the business and operations of acquired institutions;

A prolonged economic downturn or excessive inflation;

Political and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset management and credit services businesses;

Occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, or pandemics;

The effects of and changes in the rate of FDIC premiums, including special assessments;

Future legislative or administrative changes to U.S. governmental capital programs;

Future changes in federal or state tax laws or tax rates;

Enacted financial reform legislation, e.g., Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, may have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business and results of operations;

The risk that management’s analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful; and

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s critical accounting policies, as summarized in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, include those related to the allowance for loan losses which requires management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. For this Form 10-Q, there were no material changes made to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies, which are more fully disclosed in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Corporation’s net income (earnings) was $3,053,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $3,900,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $847,000 or 22 percent.

INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Unless otherwise noted, this section discusses interest income and interest expense amounts as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which are not presented on a tax equivalent basis.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $15,701,000, an increase of $224,000 or 1 percent compared to net interest income of $15,477,000 for the first quarter 2021.

The Corporation’s net interest margin, computed as interest income (tax-equivalent basis) annualized as a percentage of average interest earning assets, was 2.79 percent for the first quarter 2022 compared to 3.04 percent for the first quarter 2021. The net interest margin contraction was a result of higher levels of interest bearing deposits with banks and lower volume and lower interest rates on loans, partially offset by lower volume of long-term debt and lower rates on interest bearing demand and time deposits.

Total interest income for the first quarter 2022 totaled $17,297,000, a decrease of $1,078,000 or 6 percent below the amount of total interest income for the first quarter 2021. The change was primarily a result of lower volume of commercial loans.

Interest and dividend income on investments increased $686,000 or 98 percent in the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The average balance of the investment securities portfolio increased $111,777,000 or 65 percent when comparing the first quarter 2022 to the same period in 2021. The tax-equivalent yield on investments for the first quarter 2022 was 2.03 percent or 31 basis points higher than the 1.72 percent realized in the first quarter 2021.

Interest income on loans decreased $1,911,000 or 11 percent in the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The average balance of outstanding loans, primarily commercial loans, decreased approximately $50,680,000 or 3 percent comparing the first quarter 2022 to the same period in 2021. Lower average balances on the loan portfolio and lower fees recognized due to PPP loan forgiveness were the primary drivers of the decrease in interest income on loans. The tax-equivalent yield on loans for the first quarter 2022 was 4.17 percent or 36 basis points lower than the 4.53 percent experienced in the first quarter 2021.

Total interest expense for the first quarter 2022 was $1,596,000, a decrease of $1,302,000 or 45 percent as compared to total interest expense of $2,898,000 for the first quarter 2021. The change was primarily the result of a decrease in the cost of interest bearing demand and time deposits.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $1,158,000 or 52 percent in the first quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.27 percent in the first quarter 2022 or 35 basis points lower than the average rate paid of 0.62 percent in the first quarter 2021. The average balance of interest bearing deposits for the first quarter 2022 increased by $143,345,000 or 10 percent compared to the first quarter 2021. Also, the Corporation experienced favorable growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, with the average volume for the first quarter 2022 increasing 21 percent to $511,170,000 as compared to $423,830,000 for the first quarter 2021. The increase was primarily related to deposits associated with new commercial client relationships.

For the first quarter 2022 interest expense on borrowings (long-term debt and subordinated debentures) decreased $144,000 or 21 percent compared to the first quarter 2021. Short-term borrowings consisting of repurchase agreements and other short-term

borrowings averaged $9,967,000 for the first quarter 2022, compared to an average balance of $7,735,000 for the first quarter 2021. The rate on average short-term borrowings for the first quarter 2022 was 0.41 percent, a decrease as compared to a rate of 0.42 percent for the first quarter 2021. Long-term debt, which includes borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP) and subordinated debentures issued in December 2020 by the Corporation, averaged $54,059,000 for the first quarter 2022 and $79,659,000 for the first quarter 2021. The decrease was attributable to FHLBP advances totaling $25,000,000 which matured and were repaid in the second quarter of 2021. For the first quarter 2022, the rate on average long-term borrowings was 3.93 percent, an increase of 52 basis points as compared to a rate of 3.41 percent for the first quarter 2021. The increase was related to the rate on subordinated debentures issued in December 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is an expense charged to earnings to cover the estimated losses attributable to uncollected loans. The provision reflects management’s judgment of an appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses. Provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2022 was $1,027,000, a $204,000 decrease as compared to $1,231,000 provision for the first quarter 2021. The decreased provision expense in the first quarter 2022 was the result of a reduction of qualitative factors influenced by COVID-19 in the prior period. Both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, however, changing economic conditions may require future adjustments. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.44 percent at March 31, 2022, as compared to 1.49 percent at December 31, 2021 and 1.42 percent at March 31, 2021.

More information about the allowance for loan losses can be found in this report under the caption Allowance for Loan Losses on page 44.

Income from bank owned life insuranceThe $41,000 or 15 percent increase in income from bank owned life insurance is due to the purchase of additional bank owned life insurance in the second quarter 2021.

Other incomeThe $144,000 or 26 percent decrease in other income is primarily due to lower swap referral fees during the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021.

Gain on sales of loans held for saleThe $692,000 or 66 percent decrease in gain on sales of loans was due to the sale of a smaller volume of mortgage loans to the secondary market during the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021.

Professional and legalThe $508,000 or 145 percent increase in professional and legal expense is attributed to corporate matters in the current period.

MarketingThe $135,000 or 51 percent increase in marketing expense is attributed primarily to marketing campaigns related to the new Hunt Valley Connections Center in the current period.

Debit card processingThe $102,000 or 36 percent increase in debit card processing expense is attributed to the growth of retail clients and increased usage of electronic methods to access deposits.

Charitable donationsThe $158,000 or 84 percent decrease in charitable donations expense is attributed to timing of charitable donations in 2022 compared to the prior period. Charitable donations that occurred in the first quarter 2021 are expected to occur during the second quarter 2022.

PA shares taxThe $205,000 or 137 percent increase in PA shares tax expense is attributed to timing of charitable donations and the related tax credits in 2022 compared to the prior period. Tax credits that occurred in the first quarter 2021 are expected to occur during the second quarter 2022.

Impaired loan carrying costsThe $38,000 or 38 percent increase in impaired loan carrying costs expense is primarily attributed to a increase in expenses associated with impaired loans compared to the prior period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter 2022 was $807,000 a decrease of $266,000 or 25 percent as compared to the first quarter 2021. The decrease was attributed to lower pre-tax net income for the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was 20.9 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of certain elements with specific tax benefits, including tax-exempt income, such as income from tax-exempt investments, tax-exempt loans, and bank-owned life insurance.

 

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks

On March 31, 2022, interest bearing deposits with banks totaled $417,741,000, a decrease of $107,903,000 or 21 percent, compared to the level at year-end 2021. The decrease is primarily the result of the purchase of investment securities and a decrease in client deposits.

Investment Securities (Available-for-Sale)

The Corporation’s entire investment securities portfolio is classified available-for-sale, and is comprised of interest-earning debt securities. The overall composition of the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio is provided in Note 2—Securities. On March 31, 2022, the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $302,383,000, which represented an increase of $48,098,000 as compared to the fair value of investment securities at year-end 2021. Purchases of securities exceeded the cash flows from principal reductions, sales and maturities during the first three months of 2022.

Loans Held For Sale

On March 31, 2022, loans held for sale were $2,016,000, which was $5,860,000 or 74 percent lower than the level at year-end 2021. This was attributable to lower secondary market mortgage volume in the first quarter 2022 and SBA loans sold during the quarter.

Loans

On March 31, 2022, total loans, net of deferred fees, were $1.53 billion, which was $1,255,000 or less than one percent lower than the level at year-end 2021. Despite the decrease, core loan volume increased $12,653,000, which was offset by a decrease in PPP loans, which totaled $13,810,000 at March 31, 2022, compared to $27,662,000 at December 31, 2021. Commercial loans within the builder and developer, commercial real estate investor and residential real estate investor sectors each represented more than 10 percent of the total portfolio. The composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is provided in Note 4—Loans.

Operating Leases Right-of-Use Assets

On March 31, 2022, operating leases right-of-use assets totaled $3,584,000, which was $1,887,000 or 111 percent higher than the level at year-end 2021. The increase was primarily the result of the new Hunt Valley Connections Center, which opened in the first quarter 2022.

Deposits

Deposits are the Corporation’s principal source of funding for earning assets. On March 31, 2022, deposits totaled $2.10 billion, which reflected a $47,893,000 or 2 percent decrease compared to the level at year-end 2021. Of the decrease in total deposits, $16,213,000 is attributable to noninterest bearing deposits and $31,680,000 is related to interest bearing deposits, primarily time deposits. The composition of the Corporation’s total deposit portfolio is provided in Note 6—Deposits.

Short-term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings, totaled $10,778,000 at March 31, 2022, which reflected a $17,000 or less than 1 percent increase compared to the level at year-end 2021.

Long-term Debt

The Corporation uses long-term borrowings as a secondary funding source for asset growth and to manage interest rate risk. On March 31, 2022, long-term debt, including subordinated debentures totaled $52,274,000 compared to $52,262,000 at year-end 2021. A listing of outstanding long-term debt obligations is provided in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt. The composition of the Corporation’s leases is provided in Note 8—Leases.

Operating Leases Liabilities

On March 31, 2022, operating leases liabilities totaled $3,738,000, which was $1,935,000 or 107 percent higher than the level at year-end 2021. The increase was primarily the result of the new Hunt Valley Connections Center, which opened in the first quarter 2022.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Adequacy

Shareholders’ equity, or capital, enables Codorus Valley to maintain asset growth and absorb losses. Capital adequacy can be affected by a multitude of factors, including profitability, new stock issuances, corporate expansion and acquisitions, dividend policy and distributions, and regulatory mandates. The Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was approximately $183,719,000 on March 31, 2022, a decrease of $11,786,000 or 6 percent compared to the level at year-end 2021. The decrease was primarily related to the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss caused by changing market rate conditions impacting the investment securities portfolio.

Cash Dividends on Stock

The Corporation has historically paid cash dividends on its stock on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors determines the dividend rate after considering the Corporation's capital requirements, current and projected net income, and other relevant factors. As recently announced, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on April 12, 2022, payable on May 10, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 26, 2022. The cash dividend follows a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share distributed in February 2022.

Capital Adequacy

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators that involve quantitative guidelines and qualitative judgments. The regulatory capital measures for the Corporation and PeoplesBank as of March 31, 2022 and the minimum capital ratios established by regulators are set forth in Note 9—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements. We believe that PeoplesBank is well capitalized on March 31, 2022 and had no regulatory dividend restrictions (see Note 9—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements).

RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the possibility that a loan client, counterparty or issuer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms, posing one of the most significant risks of loss to the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation emphasizes the management of credit risk, and has established a lending policy which management believes is sound given the nature and scope of our operations.

- 41 -


The Credit Risk Management section included in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, provides a more detailed overview of the Corporation’s credit risk management process.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets, as shown in the table below, are asset categories that pose the greatest risk of loss. The level of nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022 has decreased $3,343,000 or 10 percent when compared to year-end 2021.

The Corporation regularly monitors large and criticized assets in its commercial loan portfolio recognizing that prolonged low economic growth, or a weakening economy, could have negative effects on these commercial borrowers. Nonperforming assets are monitored and managed for collection of these accounts. Collection efforts, including modification of contractual terms for individual accounts based on prevailing market conditions and liquidation of collateral assets, are employed to maximize recovery. A special assets committee meets regularly, at a minimum quarterly, to review nonperforming assets. We generally rely on appraisals performed by independent licensed appraisers to determine the value of real estate collateral for impaired collateral-dependent loans. Generally, an appraisal is performed when: an account reaches 90 days past due, unless a certified appraisal was completed within the past twelve months; market values have changed significantly; the condition of the property has changed significantly; or the existing appraisal is outdated based upon regulatory or policy requirements. In instances where the value of the collateral, net of costs to sell, is less than the net carrying amount for impaired commercial related loans, a specific loss allowance is established for the difference. Further provisions for loan losses may be required for nonaccrual loans as additional information becomes available or conditions change. When it is probable that some portion or an entire loan balance will not be collected, that amount is charged off as loss against the allowance.

The paragraphs and table below address significant changes in the nonperforming asset categories as of March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021.

Nonperforming loans

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. We generally place a loan on nonaccrual status and cease accruing interest income (i.e., recognize interest income on a cash basis, as long as the loan is sufficiently collateralized) when loan payment performance is unsatisfactory and the loan is past due 90 days or more. A loan is returned to interest accruing status when we determine that circumstances have improved to the extent that all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are current for at least six consecutive payments and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest represent loans that are contractually past due, but are well collateralized and in the process of collection. As of March 31, 2022, the nonperforming loan portfolio balance totaled $30,563,000, compared to $33,906,000 at year-end 2021. During the first three months of 2022, loans totaling $1,147,000 were transferred to nonaccrual status, offset by the transfer of loans out of nonaccrual status and payments to loans in nonaccrual status totaling approximately $4,490,000, representing a net decrease in nonaccrual loans of $3,343,000. In addition, accruing loans 90 days or more past due remained the same at $324,000 in both periods. For both periods, the nonperforming portfolio balance was comprised primarily of collateralized commercial loans.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired to satisfy debts owed to PeoplesBank and is included in the Other Assets category on the Corporation’s balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there was no foreclosed real estate.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings pertain to loans whose terms have been modified to include a concession that we would not ordinarily consider due to the debtor’s financial difficulties. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring typically involve a reduction of interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the deferral of payments or extension of the stated maturity date. Troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment if they have been restructured during the most recent calendar year, or if they cease to perform in accordance with the modified terms.

The principal balance of all outstanding TDRs was $15,954,000 at March 31, 2022 and $954,000 at December 31, 2021. There was a $1,901,000 allowance allocated to TDRs at March 31, 2022 and none at December 31, 2021. Included in the total TDRs at March 31, 2022, the accruing TDR portfolio balance totaled $1,087,000, compared to $954,000 at year-end 2021. The $14,640,000 increase in total TDRs was the result of the addition of two commercial and two consumer loan relationships.

As of March 31, 2022, there are no modifications for consumer loans, one mortgage loan totaling approximately $641,000 and five commercial loans totaling approximately $33,527,000 under the CARES Act, which are not considered TDRs. As of March 31, 2021, there were no modifications for consumer loans, five mortage loans totaling approximately $2,060,000 and 38 commercial loans totaling approximately $86,091,000 under the CARES Act, which are not considered TDRs.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Although the Corporation believes that it maintains sound credit policies, certain loans deteriorate and must be charged off as losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance is based upon management’s continuous

- 43 -


evaluation of the loan portfolio coupled with a formal review of adequacy on a quarterly basis, which is subject to review and approval by the Board.

The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of two components: specific allowances for individually impaired commercial loans and allowances calculated for pools of loans. The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system to evaluate individual loans. Loans are segmented into industry groups or pools with similar characteristics, and an allowance for loan losses is allocated to each segment based on quantitative factors such as recent loss history (two-year rolling average of net charge-offs) and qualitative factors, such as the results of internal and external credit reviews, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, adequacy of collateral, and general economic conditions. Determining the level of the allowance for probable loan losses at any given period is subjective, particularly during deteriorating or uncertain economic periods, and requires that we make estimates using assumptions. There is also the potential for adjustment to the allowance as a result of regulatory examinations.

The provision for loan losses decreased $204,000 from March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022. The decreased provision expense in the first three months of 2022 was attributed primarily to a larger impact related to COVID-19 in the prior period. Both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, however, changing economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may require future adjustments.

Liquidity Risk Management

Maintaining adequate liquidity provides the Corporation with the ability to meet financial obligations to depositors, loan clients, employees, and shareholders on a timely and cost effective basis in the normal course of business. Additionally, adequate liquidity provides funds for growth and business opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is generated from transactions relating to both the Corporation's assets and liabilities. The primary sources of asset liquidity are funds received from client loan payments, investment maturities and cash inflows from mortgage-backed securities, and the net proceeds of asset sales. The primary sources of liability liquidity are deposit growth, and funds obtained from short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, included in this report, present the changes in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2022, we believe that liquidity was adequate based upon the potential liquidation of unpledged available-for-sale securities with a fair value totaling approximately $104,045,000 and available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh totaling approximately $574,073,000. The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 72.9 percent as of March 31, 2022, 71.4 percent as of December 31, 2021 and 80.4 percent as of March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new loans, unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, and letters of credit issued under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on March 31, 2022, totaled $665,654,000 and consisted of $529,563,000 in unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, $120,560,000 to grant new loans and $15,531,000 in letters of credit. Generally these commitments have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and are for specific purposes. Accordingly, many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

Recent Legislative Developments

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time banking regulators, the SEC and FASB have all issued additional guidance and clarification on various sections of the CARES Act. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to trouble debt restructurings (TDR) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19, provided the loan was not past due as of December 31, 2019. Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) was signed into law on December 27, 2020, extending the provisions in Section 4013 of the CARES Act to January 1, 2022. Regulators have encouraged financial institutions to work constructively with borrowers in communities and industries affected by COVID-19 using prudent and proactive actions which are in the best interests of the financial institution, the borrower and the economy. The Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a number of options for loan modifications, including interest deferral, full payment deferral, additional extensions of credit, and SBA loan programs (i.e., Economic Injury Disaster Loans, Paycheck Protection Program).

At its October 16, 2019 meeting, the FASB approved a deferral of the effective date for several of its recent standards. The proposal creates two new “buckets”: (1) SEC filers other than smaller reporting companies (SRCs, as defined by the SEC) and (2) all other entities. For the Corporation, this would apply to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”), which has not yet been adopted by the Corporation. The effective date of the CECL standard would be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Corporation continues to move forward with the project.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The most significant market risk to which the Corporation is exposed is interest rate risk. The primary business of the Corporation and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings), all of which have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. Changes in rates also have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow.

The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset Liability Management Committee, consisting of key financial and senior management personnel, meets on a regular basis. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, reviewing projected sources and uses of funds, approving asset and liability management policies, monitoring economic conditions, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.

Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next twelve-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in client behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor do they account for competitive pricing over the forward 12-month period. The Corporation applies these interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. A 300 and 400 basis point decrease in interest rates cannot be simulated at this time due to the historically low interest rate environment.

The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income as well as the Corporation’s policy limits at each level. All scenarios with the exception of a decrease of 100 basis points were within policy limits at March 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that information required

- 45 -


to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A – Risk Factors – in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On April 12, 2022, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the "Agreement") with Driver Opportunity Partners I LP, Driver Management Company LLC and J. Abbott R. Cooper (collectively, "Driver"). Pursuant to the Agreement, and concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, the Company appointed John E. Kiernan to the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Nominating Committee"), the Compensation Committee ("Compensation Committee") and the Audit Committee ("Audit Committee") of the Board. Additionally, the Company agreed to nominate Mr. Kiernan for election at the Company's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"). The Company has further agreed to begin a process to identify and appoint two additional new independent directors to the Board, one of whom shall be identified and selected by the Board in its sole discretion, and the other of whom shall be mutually agreed upon by Driver and the Board. Each of these two new directors shall be appointed to the Board no later than June 30,

2022. Additionally, the Audit Committee has agreed to engage Chain Bridge Partners, LLC ("Chain Bridge") to undertake a comprehensive review of the Company's credit risk policies and practices (the "Credit Risk Study"). The review will include (i) an evaluation of the adequacy of the Board's level governance of the Company's lending program, (ii) an assessment of managerial compliance with the Board's approved policies and procedures, including loan underwriting documentation and support, and (iii) a credit review. At the conclusion of the Credit Risk Study, Chain Bridge will issue recommendations for strengthening the Company's credit and underwriting risk management policies and practices.

Furthermore, the Company will hire independent third-party advisors to perform a comprehensive study of the Company’s executive compensation (the “Compensation Study”), including the executive compensation initiatives previously proposed by Driver, and any recommendations contained in the Credit Risk Study. The Compensation Study will also solicit feedback from the Company’s shareholders, and evaluate stock ownership guidelines for the Company’s directors.

Driver has agreed to withdraw its notice of intent to nominate director candidates for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting. With respect to each annual or special meeting of the Company's stockholders during the term of the Agreement, Driver has agreed to vote the shares of the Company's common stock then held by it in accordance with the Board's recommendations on director election proposals and any other proposals submitted by the Company or a stockholder, except that Driver may vote in its discretion on extraordinary transactions and, other than with respect to certain proposals relating to Board composition, in accordance with the recommendations of Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. or Glass Lewis & Co. if either of them recommends differently from the

Board. Further, Driver has agreed to a general release of claims with respect to the Company and its affiliates and to voluntarily dismiss with prejudice any and all claims asserted in any actions against the Company or its affiliates in their entirety. During the term of the Agreement, the Company and Driver have agreed that they will not disparage each other.

Driver has also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions prohibiting it from, among other things, (i) making certain announcements regarding the Company's transactions, (ii) soliciting proxies, (iii) purchasing or otherwise acquiring ownership of any securities of the Company, (iv) advising, encouraging or intentionally influencing any person with respect to disposition of any securities of the Company, (v) taking actions to change or influence the Board, Company management or the direction of certain Company matters, and (vi) exercising certain stockholder rights.

The Agreement will terminate upon five business days' written notice by either party, except that the Agreement shall not terminate until the date that is 30 days prior to the opening of the window for submission of stockholder nominations for the Company's 2024 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws. Each of the Company and Driver has the right to terminate the Agreement earlier if the other party commits a material breach of the Agreement and such breach is not cured within 15 days after notice or, if such breach is not curable within 15 days, the breaching party has not taken any substantive action to cure within such 15-day period.
